In desperate need of support
Hello Chaddy
Nice to see your note advising your return and I am sorry to hear about your sad loss. You have had to do whatever you've had to do to get you through an unbelievably difficult time and I think its great that you are getting back on LT again and wish you lots and lots of weight loss so that you can really enjoy your holiday.
I am starting LT again after 9 months break. I started this time last year and due to a very stressful 14 weeks whilst I was on it, through health problems and also through working 12 hour days 7 days a week in the NHS (I know ... what happened to the 48 hour european working directive) I failed miserably and only managed to lose 25 lb. Then in April this year I underwent gynae surgery and had a tube and ovary removed and shortly after that also developed a degenerative neck problem which is affecting my arms and hands and will eventually need surgery and because I had two months off at home and was fed up I just ate and ate and ate. I now top the scales at 16st 10lb and whilst that may not seem that much to some of you at 5'1" I am now a size 24 and the biggest I have ever been. When I was 25 I had kept my weight at a healthy 8st 4lb for over ten years, even though the rest of my family were all on the big side.
I am now firmly on the road to metabolic syndrome and desperately need to stop this destructive behaviour and start to look after myself. I am a positive person and devote much of my time to making other people feel better about themselves, so why can't I just give myself a bloomin good shake and snap out of it. I am desperate for another child and time isn't on my side, nor the fact I only have one tube and ovary and I'm also a PCOS sufferer, and I can't pile on baby weight on top of the weight I am already carrying as when I last gave birth I was only 15 stones at full term and both my baby and I ended up having problems. I need help. I've invested in a wii fit and am currently doing 30 minutes a day on this, so I suppose that's something. Any advice or words of encouragement would be so much appreciated.
